Why not attack the media via the media?
Maybe Kerry and Edwards can start referring to the skewed/screwed/innacurrate polls in order to dissuade those who might want to "back a winner".

Or, maybe MoveOn et al could start running last minute ads encouraging sane people not to believe the polls. This crap is going to get worse before better, I suspect. Why not address this challenge?

2. I'd love to see...
Move on ads that discredit the polls and urge voters to prove the pollsters wrong!

3. yeah....like Bush did in debate #3...oh never mind...
media wields incredible power. By media I mean the large broadcast media ventures. They set the discussion and agenda.

4. What we need are a few 'journalists'
with the courage to take up the charge leveled by Jon Stewart against the media and go after their peers. If it caught on, there could be a real bloodbath. Risky, but at the same time a good way to make a name for one's self.
